After Abel and Other Stories
Lemberger, Michal
After Abel and Other Stories Michal Lemberger - U.S.A. Prospect Park Books 2015 - 283tr. paperback, illustration 18 cm
Informed by the author’s deep knowledge of the Old Testament and vividly reimagined with contemporary clarity, each of these nine stories recasts a biblical saga from the perspective of a pivotal woman. Eve considers motherhood. Miriam tends to Moses. Lot’s wife looks back. From these familiar starting points, Michal Lemberger offers a “fresh and engaging” perspective on distant times, giving voice to silent, oft-marginalized figures: their ambitions, their love for their children, their values, their tremendous struggles and challenges... Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award: The women of the Bible are radiantly brought to life in an “original and thought-provoking” story collection...
